    If I was on that committee, I would have laptop open in front of me to realtime factcheck the RTE crap.

    They know how many people he represents but they didn't want to say it. It is just one of the many many lies been told.


    Probably the smallest.

    NK is not at all the issue. He is doing what he can in the best interest of his clients. He can only do this with RTEs approval. RTE allowed the deals to be made, and here we are.

    Someone else pointed out the RTE Chairman appears to be sloshed, her speech is very slurred.

    When is the money (including lost growth) Michael Noonan took in the Pension Levy going to be paid back?

    It is basically a stereotype of the civil servants thinking they won’t be held to account etc.

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.

    Mistakes were made, we didn't know, lessons will be learned etc.

    That's all that will come out of this.

    Lol, Patrick Kielty is really walking into wasps nest in September. If RTE stonewall on his salary and he himself won't discuss it, he's got a big problem coming.

    "Rory has been with RTÉ since 2007 in a variety of roles. Since 2011, as Strategic Advisor to the Director-General, Rory has been at the centre of strategic planning for the organisation. As Director of Strategy, he will lead a new strategy function encompassing corporate strategy, new ventures and innovation, public affairs, and strategic risk management."


    And he hasn't been asked a single damn question directly during all of this thing.

    Bizarre and quite frankly suspicious

    This is all taking the focus away from the fact aswell that 2 of the All Ireland Q-Finals this weekend are on GAAGO...another organisation Dee Forbes is involved in. She must quite literally have had carte blanche in there to do what she wanted.

    OK.

    He can be asked, but can say no i'm not appearing.

    However, if he refuses to attend to clarify this issue, then in my view, he risks not being recognised by RTE (via the Minsiter who provides RTE with funding) into the future to represent ANY of their clients as they are involved in a lack of transparency around public money. this would be very costly for the agency.

    the Minister can do this. The Minister provides the money. This isn't a private company.

    public money carries a different obligation. If it is believed that public money is being misused, or used for purposes other than what it was supplied for, then provision of it can be withdrawn or temporarily halted. it happened with the FAI IIRC.

    If they refuse to appear, they risk losing access to brokering further agreements with RTE in the future, in the above scenario.

    Brendan Griffin has snared a big one there. She was completely caught of guard.

    Dee Forbes was asked to resign so they could basically throw her under the bus.

    Suin letting herself down now as she asked for Forbes to resign not thinking that it would good to have Forbes as DG at the Oireachtas committee?

    Sorry, NK Management can clarify this issue. 100% agree that they are doing the best they can for their cleints - and it's their remit - and they've done an incredible job for their clients.

    However, this deal brokered involved 2 NK management clients (atm) with RTE. RTE person isn't available. It would do the nation a great service for NK Management to clarify it for everyone's benefit.

    They asked her to resign. As I thought. Pin it on her, avoid all accountability. Brass neck the rest of it.

    Not saying NK should not assist, more that it's down to RTE what NK can "get away" with.

    I am going to be sick, "The wonderfully talented radio presenter, Ryan is a darling of the Irish public and we are very proud of our partnership with Lottie."

    Did NK write this **** as anybody who wrote this in Toyota Longmile Road must have the brownest nose in Ireland.

    Brendan Griffin asking some pertinent questions. Huge disparity between some contributors who are on top of their brief and a few others who are there to be seen asking questions, despite, in some instances, being barely able to string a sentence together.
